🎈 Update! 🎈

• Auto prompt for elevation on install / uninstall
• Add shortcut [-/+] to sublime entries
• Add uninstaller (will be auto download by new version)

For person who installed old version:

1. Delete old __elevate.cmd
2. Download OpenWithSublimeText.bat into sublime folder and execute it again.

@jcppkkk once you elevated and edit the file, seems you cannot edit the contextual manual to edit other files with the same ST window, unless you close it. is this normal? But thanks for the great work tho.

@Mr-A Yes it's normal. It's due to windows's security implementation. Process with elevated permission cannot interact with non elevated processes. e.g. normal editing new file with sublime will try to use elevated sublime if there is one, and that will lead to a silent failure.

Confirm as work insanely in Windows 10 :)

Worked without a hitch in Windows 10 (and ST3). 👍
Thanks for sharing! If you are ever in Winnipeg drop by for a beer :)

What needs to change in the bat to work with sublime portable? Thanks.

Edit, my mistake in not copying the bat to the install directory.

So simple; download the zip, extract to my Sublime folder (ST3 x64 on Win 8.1 => Program Files\Sublime Text 3), run the batch file and done. Worked like a charm! Thank you!

Very useful! Thank you 😄

Elevate as admin no longer working for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

EDIT:

I guess being more explicit is never a problem.

Simple Fix: https://gist.github.com/zanechua/534e86f169803e5cfaa8442a23580b4a

Thanks @zanechua's fix. I applied it 😄

Thanks, it worked fine ! Great use of powershell and vbscript commands in a batch file !
(the dynamic downloading of your project is pretty amazing !)

I'm new in Github, so I don't understand how to post a fork, but I see a few things to change in your code :

OpenWithSublime.bat

Line 6 and 7, you forgot to use doublequotes for values containing spaces :

SET "UserEntry=Sublime Text"
SET "AdminEntry=Sublime Text As Admin"

Line 59, the use of

SET openwithsublime_elevation=1 

in relationship with OpenWithSublime_elevate.cmd seems to be useless, because inevitable.

Thanks for including HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\ as well
